Have a Dixon ZTR 4423 that had been sitting for 4 yrs. Lower bearing in main shaft transaxle went out due to lack of grease. I watched all of your videos and totally repaired the transaxle. Greased all other bearings on transaxle, pulleys and deck on mower. Your video on bench was great. No running adjustments were necessary. I do have to say on my transaxle, the main shaft bearing core, according to Dixon parts, were too small for my transaxle. I installed "National 203-FF" from O'Reilly auto parts. My mower is like new again and knowledge to make all adjustments in the future.... Thanks so much!

Awesome! That makes my day to hear that. My experience was just the opposite on the bearings. I order some online that I thought were the correct size, the inner diameter was too large. I ended up returning them and order the bearings from www.dixonztrparts.com, and their bearings were perfect for me. Thanks for the feed back, and sharing on the bearings you found, I'm sure someone else will run into that same problem and find that information useful.

These mowers can be fun and a pain in the butt too. I've got a ZTR 361 36" cut circa 1990 and a ZTR 3303 30" cut circa 1999. Both were a mess a few years ago when I got them. The ZTR 361 needed a lot of work...chains, pulleys and all the ball joints replaced (not cheap)...front tires were shot too. Thankfully the cones on both mowers were ok. Wish I could afford a new zero turn at $2500 and up not in the budget lol. As old as they are they're not perfect but they get the job done. If you have a Dixon, stock up on any parts you might need as they're getting harder to find

@Blindowl1234 How do you know the cones are good? I have a Zeeter 30 and it only goes left in forward. It actually is easier to drive backwards. I've seen in several places that the drive chains need to be replaced but I'm concerned it might be the cones. The drive chains are really loose so I was planning on starting on replacing those and see what happens.

I've got the little 30. The trans makes a slight metal grinding noise. I just got it 2nd hand. Is this normal? Also has smoke poring out from one of the belts but it's not doing it now. any ideas? It seemed to be smoking on the lower engine pulley. thanks.
@BooyahBrink
@BooyahBrink 5 жыл бұрын
Grinding noise could be bearing going out or the cup is making slight contact with a cone. Smoking belt could be a number of things. Is the belt old and worn out? Are one of the pulleys seized? Also check the belt keepers (little L shaped rods) and make sure they are installed correctly. I once put a keeper on wrong and the belt rubbed up against it smoking the belt. Good luck

@davidp8563
@davidp8563 3 жыл бұрын
The click sound is most likely the fuel cutoff solenoid on the bottom of the carb bowl. There are only 2 safety switches on the Dixon. The seat switch to prove you are sitting in the seat. The problem is likely the switch for the parking brake. The brake must be ON to start the engine. manually close the plunger and try it. Or test the switch with a meter. The switch should have continuity when depressed.

@thefixitdad4938
@thefixitdad4938 6 жыл бұрын
Simple answer is yes. You can speed up or slow down each side of the mower adjusting the back springs. From my experience, tightening and loosening the two springs at the back of the cradle will adjust the contact of the cups in relation to the cones. So you might need to tighten one side, or you might need to back it off. Either way, when you make the adjustments, be sure to count your turns, that way, you can always return it back to where you started. Also, before you adjust, make sure the driving levers are up, (not resting in their neutral slots). If you make enough of an adjustment on the back springs while the levers are in the neutral slot, you could put everything in a bind. Lastly, if you make changes to the back springs, you might then need to adjust the neutral spring on that side, so the mower doesn't creep when you bring the levers up to drive. And you may need to adjust the ball joints, so the levers will fit back in the neutral slot. Also, you weren't able to find the bench adjustment video because it hadn't been posted yet. That video is still being edited. I hope to have it up this weekend. I'll let you know when I do. Good luck!
